TIP OF THE WEEK

Late Night Campus Safety Tips — Stay in well-lit areas away from alleys, bushes, and entryways. Avoid shortcuts through parks, vacant lots, and other deserted places. Do not hitchhike or accept rides from strangers. If a driver stops to ask you for directions, avoid getting near the car. If you are being followed, go to the nearest business or residence for help. If you are harassed by the occupant(s) of a car, simply turn and walk in the other direction. The driver will have to turn around to follow you. Hold your backpack and/or purse close, not dangling, and avoid carrying extra money or valuables on your person. When you return home, have your door key ready so that you can enter without delay. Above all, be aware of the people around you and always try to be cognizant of your environment.
